UPS room in the Shard needs cooling

An international broadcaster headquartered in the Middle East needed the intervention of Andrews Sykes before moving into new offices in London. The Shard โ€“ Europeโ€™s tallest freestanding building โ€“ was their location of choice, but an overheating issue threatened to obstruct the moving in process.

The main UPS switch room โ€“ which provides the company with a back-up power supply โ€“ was getting too hot, and this problem had to be addressed before occupancy could begin. We provided the client with a PAC 60 portable air conditioner complete with heat exchanger and accessories, to reduce the internal temperature. ย By removing warm air from the vicinity, we prevented critical materials and equipment from being exposed to dangerous amounts of heat.

Having provided a cooling solution to this customer before, they approached us knowing we would respond quickly to the problem at hand. We supplied the same units for a previous project so our client was satisfied with our system, which ensured the switch room remained at a safe temperature.
